The shadowy streets of Lincoln Park or Logan Square are ideal for capturing those tender moments you’ll cherish forever. If you’re a couple who doesn’t take themselves too seriously, spring for a talented photographer in the area where you met or wish to live someday. Walking along the streets of Chicago holding your favorite person’s hand is such a genuine photo-op! Alexa, play “I want to hold your hand.”

With architect Frank Lloyd Wright involved, it’s no wonder this building is a masterpiece. It’s an unexpected, yet elegant setting to propose or take those wedding glamour shots. In 1888, it was the finest office building in America. And it’s still one of the finest in town for photos with your honey.

A bold couple may vouch for the city streets rather than grand landscapes, when it comes to their engagement photos. The glimmering downtown lights right around dusk are a whimsical backdrop for an extraordinary occasion. It’s urban chic! If you wish to continue your evening near the river after your engagement shoot, hop aboard Chicago’s First Lady for a Twilight River Cruise!
